Simoun (Anime)
Date: 2021-08-08 01:20 pm (UTC)Title: Simoun
Media: anime/manga
Approx length: 26 episodes of ~20 min; there's also a single-volume manga that's an alternate take on the story (the anime is based off a PS2 game) and that also features an high-school AU chapter.
Where to find it: please contact me directly
What is it, in summary? A yuri sci-fi series. In a world where everyone is born female, young girls trained to be priestesses get thrown in a war as the flying engines they use to pray (the titular Simouns) are also powerful war machines.
What do you love about it? The themes of coming of age, faith in times of war, freedom vs. responsibility, gender and unconventional relationships. All of the cast and the way they all get to shine. The worldbuilding, even down to things like only using female voice actors. The many many ships. Anything about the Simoun themselves. The music!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Anything, tbh. The fandom has less than 30 works on Ao3, I'll take anything. But I'm specifically going to requests all the canon ships, a few non canon, and all the worldbuilding and character studies. See letter for more rambling.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests? The manga, especially if you're going the AU route. Otherwise the first 8 episodes give you a good idea of the main cast dynamics.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): there's incest between two sisters, there's dub-con (alluded to), and it's war, so expect violence and blood. Religious terrorism is featured. No gore.
